The results showed that the samples with high TCERG1 gene expression were significantly enriched in cancer-related signaling pathways such as cell cycle, apoptosis and pathways in cancer, as well as signaling pathways known to be associated with hepatocellular carcinoma such as Wnt signaling pathway, Vegf signaling pathway, Notch signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway and MTOR signaling pathway (Figure 8). Here, MTOR is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
